: One Mirror, One World: The Translucent Mirror Of The Ming Dynasty From "Han Tianxia" | Collection Exhibition Of CAFAM

2025-09-06

In the exhibition hall of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum – Ancient Chinese Art", a precious relic from the Han Dynasty that has spanned over a thousand years – the circular-knob sunlight and grass-leaf pattern bronze mirror – stands quietly, waiting to meet the gaze of contemporary viewers.> > > >639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, Reverse side of the mirror, Han Dynasty, Bronze, Diameter: 10.3 cm, Weight: 108 grams, Collection of CAFA Art Museum639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, Mirror surfaceThis bronze mirror is well-preserved, showing an overall black appearance with scattered patches of green rust.The mirror is circular in shape, featuring a circular knob and a deformed persimmon calyx pattern as the knob base. Outside the base lies a double-line square frame, inside which there is a checkerboard-like grid. The knob is at the center of the grid, with symmetrical diagonal patterns at the four corners. On each side of the square frame, there are two seal-script characters; when read clockwise in sequence, they form the inscription: "When seeing the light of the sun, the whole world is bright." Beyond this square frame, there is an additional circular concave frame. Four "ru ding" (breast-shaped studs, a common decorative element on ancient Chinese bronze mirrors) are placed outside the midpoints of the four sides of this concave frame. Outside each "ru ding" pattern, there is a peach-shaped flower bud, with a single-layer grass-leaf pattern arranged symmetrically on both sides. From each of the four corners of the square frame, a double-petal flower branch pattern extends, with the tips of the branches radiating outward—consistent with the direction of the leaf tips of the persimmon calyx pattern base. The mirror is bordered by an inward-facing sixteen-consecutive-arc pattern, with vertical edges.639 Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror: Case and InscriptionThis bronze mirror is accompanied by a case, on which there are 283 characters written in ink by its original owner during the Republic of China period, along with three stamped seals. The inscriptions specify the mirror's name, its extraordinary features, the mystery of its light-transmitting property, the reason for its change of ownership, and the owner's expectations for the next holder. The historical sense of responsibility embodied in the inscriptions is admirable, while the reason for the transfer—"selling the mirror to repay debts"—is lamentable. However, as Zhi Wei once said, "Both the one who gains it and the one who loses it should remain joyful." Today, our museum's acquisition of this mirror is indeed a great delight.original inscription by Zhi：The Translucent Mirror of the Ming Dynasty from "Han Tianxia"The translucent mirror is an extraordinary innovation in China's metallurgical technology. Wu Qiuyan, a scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, claimed that it was made "with fine bronze for the frame and impure bronze for the patterns（ though the two terms "fine" and "impure" should be swapped）. When exposed to sunlight, the patterns are fully transmitted." This is merely a speculative claim with no scientific basis.Scholars such as Umehara Sueji and Naito Konan also conducted research and discrimination, but none of them reached a definite conclusion. In short, this is an undisclosed secret in the casting and smelting techniques of our ancient ancestors.Among thousands of mirrors, few can obtain even one. Now I have to exchange this mirror for money to repay debts, which has made me feel sorrowful for days. I hereby write a few words. May the one who obtains it treasure it, or hand it over to experts for research, so as to solve this mystery. It will also be a glory in the history of mirrors and a fortunate event for the collector. The artistic inventions of our ancient people can thus be praised, which is especially a great fortune in the new democratic era.Words from a Mirror EnthusiastAnd stamped with the seal of Yongle HallMay both the gainer and the loser find eternal happinessSeals: Mirror Enthusiast, Seal of Yongle HallThe scene of the bronze mirror exhibition area in "Collection of CAFA Art Museum – Ancient Chinese Art"In addition to the Round Knob Sunlight Grass and Leaf Pattern Mirror, the exhibition also features dozens of other rare bronze mirrors, such as the Bridge Knob Feather-wing Flower and Leaf Pattern Four-Mountain Mirror (Warring States Period) and the Round Knob Four-Bird Flower Branch Mirror (Tang Dynasty). Through these exhibits, visitors can intuitively perceive the changes in aesthetic tastes and innovations in craftsmanship across different eras.> > > >Collection of CAFA Art Museum -– Ancient Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Time: Starting from July 1, 2024Exhibition Venue: Gallery A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He Yisha Editor / Du Yinzhu

: Shocking Anti-Japanese War Scene: Yan Han's Printmaking - "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain" | CAFAM Collection Exhibition

2025-09-04

> > > >September 3, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. On this special commemoration day, let us jointly appreciate this black-and-white woodcut print with profound historical significance—Yan Han's When the Enemies Search the Mountain. This work is currently on display in the second phase of the "Collection of CAFA Art Museum: Modern Chinese Art". The exhibition, covering traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, and printmaking, is not only the individual expression of artists but also embodies the exploration and reform in the torrent of history, responding to the times with modern forms and languages."When the Enemies Were Searching the Mountain" 1943 Yan Han Black and White Woodcut 22×19cm Collection of CAFA Art MuseumDuring the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a group of artists represented by Yan Han truly went to the battlefield and directly reflected the most intense and core scenes of the War of Resistance through their works. In 1938, Yan Han crossed the Yellow River with the Eighth Route Army to go to the front line of the War of Resistance. In 1942, the Japanese army carried out multiple "mopping-up operations" against the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines in North China. With the help of local villagers, Yan Han and his comrades managed to break through the blockade."When the Enemies Were Searching the Mountain" was created by Yan Han in 1943 after he returned to Yan'an from the front line, in memory of his fallen comrades. The work not only shows the tenacity and resistance of the people under extreme oppression but also highlights the spiritual strength of military-civilian unity and solidarity as one. It demonstrates Yan Han's creative stance of closely combining art with the destiny of the nation.Excerpt from "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain"The work depicts a battle scene where soldiers and civilians collaborate and share a common hatred for the enemy amid the predicament of the enemy searching the mountains. The painting uses a triangular composition. At the visual center, an Eighth Route Army soldier, with the joint effort of the masses lifting him up, climbs out of the trench and is strafing the enemy with a light machine gun. On the left side of the painting are militia members eager to join the battle, while at the bottom of the painting, the people support the Eighth Route Army soldier with their own bodies. A crawling child holds a grenade high in his hand, ready to pass it to the soldier at any moment. The contrast between black and white colors and the variations in the thickness of the lines create a tense and intense atmosphere.Excerpt from "When the Enemy Searches the Mountain"This print truthfully and vividly reflects the arduous anti-Japanese struggle of the Chinese people, depicting the profound bond between the military and civilians who shared weal and woe like fish and water. It conveys a stirring spiritual power and has left a brilliant mark in the history of Chinese national art development.> > > >Collection Of CAFA Art Museum——Modern Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Duration: Starting from July 1, 2025Exhibition Venue: Hall A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu

: Liu Xian: "Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance" | Collection and Exhibition of CAFAM

2025-09-02

> > > >The second phase of "Collection of CAFA Art Museum - Modern Chinese Art" is on display at the CAFA Art Museum. Among them, the "Modern Chinese Art" section includes 22 new works, ranging from traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings to prints. These works are not only the individual expressions of artists, but also embody the exploration and reform in the torrent of history, responding to the times with modern forms and languages. This push will take you to appreciate this highly representative work in the history of modern Chinese prints - Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance to the End.Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance by Liu Xian, 1938, 11×9cm, wood engraving, collected by the Art Museum of Central Academy of Fine ArtsThis piece, Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance is one of the representative works by Liu Xian, a pioneer of China's emerging woodcut movement in the 20th century. In 1938, after the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, artists used knives as pens and prints as weapons to actively participate in propaganda and mobilization. Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance was created during this period.Based on black - and - white woodcut, the work creates a solemn and powerful picture through rough knife techniques and strong light - dark contrast. At the center of the picture are the eight characters“Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance”, which is an important slogan of the War of Resistance. Around them, planes are dropping bombs on the ground. Below these big characters, there are soldiers holding guns, ready to shoot. In the city at the bottom of the picture, there are people raising their arms and shouting, distributing leaflets; people who are blasting mountains and forging iron and manufacturing weapons to provide material support for the War of Resistance; soldiers who are charging forward or have been injured and carried away on stretchers. There are also warships, tanks, and the flag of the invaders that has been shot down in the lower right corner.A Partial View of "Strengthen Unity and Persist in the War of Resistance"Such a composition combining elements from different times and spaces, along with the meticulous wood engraving, was rare at that time. It is a classic masterpiece of wood engraving in Chinese prints in the first half of the 20th century, and also an excellent art work reflecting the spirit of the times in the history of anti-Japanese war art. From it, we can see Liu Xian's vision of calling on the people to unite as one and carry out an all-round resistance war through artistic creation.> > > >Collection Exhibition of CAFA Art Museum——Modern Chinese Art(Phase II)Exhibition Time: Starting from July 1, 2025Exhibition Venue: Gallery A, 2nd Floor, CAFA Art MuseumChief Editor / He YishaEditor / Du Yinzhu

: Exhibition Highlights Focus | "Interflowing Artscapes - CAFAM International Exchange Research Exhibition from the Collection" Extended

2025-08-22

From 19th-century European oil paintings to contemporary art, spanning three centuries; from the Americas to Oceania, connecting five continents. More than 200 international art collections gather here and now, meeting us in the present.Many of these works once lay silent in storage, yet each bears distinct marks of its era and artistic value. One after another, batch after batch, the enrichment and accumulation of international art collections not only reflect the development of the art museum, the achievements of fine arts education and international exchanges at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, but also outline, from a side perspective, cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and the global art ecosystem.The international collection of CAFA Art Museum began in the 1930s. The old collection of European oil paintings from the Beiping Research Institute and the individual collection of Chiyo Yazaki formed the initial foundation. Starting from the 1950s, the academy systematically purchased and collected European and Soviet works during the construction of the exhibition hall, supplemented by donations from teachers and gifts from international artists, gradually expanding the scale of the collection. Works by renowned artists such as the Soviet Union's Kravchenko and Japan's Matazo Kayama, donated by embassies in China and international friends, are all precious relics of their time.The art museum designed by Arata Isozaki was completed in 2008, marking a new stage in the development of its international collection. Important contemporary artworks have been added to the collection through donations from collectors, institutions, and embassies: conceptual art by Joseph Beuys from Germany and Yoko Ono, a Japanese-American; paintings by Sean Scully from Ireland and Ha Dong-joon from South Korea; sculptures by Bjørn Nørgaard from Denmark; videos by Roman Signer from Switzerland; photography by Agnès Varda and Marc Riboud from France; as well as works by international art masters such as A.R. Penck from Germany and Matta-Clark from Chile, all together weaving an international art network.This exhibition is the first comprehensive display of the international artworks in the collection of the CAFA Art Museum, presented in two juxtaposed sections: "International Art Treasures" and "Chinese Mirrors"."International Art Treasures" sorts out the collections from the perspective of cultural diversity, highlighting the international vision and diversified pattern in the construction of the art museum's collection system; "Chinese Mirror Image" takes the works created in China by four foreign artists with China as the theme as samples, showing the Chinese image from a foreign perspective."Viewing the World" and "Exploring China" consist of two units: one from the inside out and the other from the outside in. These two units form a two-way cultural gaze and dialogue, exploring the cross-border flow of art and striving to demonstrate the profound significance of cultural exchange and mutual learning. These two forces, like Tai Chi, circulate and interact with each other, reflecting the dynamic landscape of the continuous growth and change of world art."Woman's Head" Gustave Courbet————————————————————————————————————Portrait of a Woman, Gustave Courbet (French), 19th century, 46×38cm, oil on canvas, Collection of CAFAM"Sketch for the Mural of the Paris Opera" Isidore Alexandre Augustin Pils———————————————————————————————————————Mural Draft for the Paris Opera House, by Isidore Alexandre Augustin Pils (French), 19th century, 80×154cm, oil on canvas, Collection of CAFAM"Portrait of a Lady at Her Toilet" Florent Williams——————————————————————————————————————————————Woman at Her Toilette by Florent Willems (Belgium), 19th Century, 77×53 cm, Oil on Canvas, Collection of CAFAM"Female Nude" Андрей Андреевич Мыльников————————————————————————————————————Female Nude, Андрей Андреевич Мыльников（Soviet Union）, circa 1980, 53×63cm, oil on canvas, Collection of CAFAM"Self-Portrait" Käthe Kollwitz—————————————————————————————————Self-portrait, Kathe Kollwitz (Germany), 1924, 24×33cm, monochrome woodcut, collected of CAFAM"The Woman in a Headscarf" Т.
